Greetings,
The following webrev contains fixes and enhancements for the following
issues:
5871 publisher apis desired
3682 pkg publisher should show mirrors in default listing

Change Summary
====================================================================
* A full set of authority management interfaces and client history
logging interfaces has been added.
* All references to 'authority' (in code, commands, docs, etc.) have
been replaced with 'publisher' (excluding the cfg_cache file for
compatibility purposes and because an overhaul of the cfg_cache file
format is coming soon).
* client intent is now properly generated when the same api object is
used for multiple operations for the same fmri(s)
* The output of the pkg publisher (aka authority) command has been
changed to include mirrors in the default output per bug 3682
* The cli has been changed to use the new publisher api everywhere possible.
* ssl_cert and ssl_key will no longer be allowed unless the protocol
scheme of the publisher's origin is https.
* The client api is now dependent on the simplejson module provided by
SUNWpython24-simplejson. I did not know if I should update an importer
file somewhere or which one. Suggestions welcome.
====================================================================
Notes
====================================================================
* I've posted a separate webrev just for the GUI team with all of its
necessary changes (excluding repository management which jmr and michal
are working on). [1]
* see "pydoc pkg.client.publisher" for a description of Publishers and
Repositories (including attributes, methods, etc.).
* Compatibility with the last version of the cfg_cache file format has
been maintained
* See doc/client_api_versions.txt for a list of new api methods and
their usage.
* The new client api is incompatible with all previous clients.
* Sample p5i file can be found in src/tests/cli/t_api.py.
* cli interfaces for editing the expanded set of publisher and
repository information has been intentionally omitted in the interest of
time and changeset size reduction.
* I've verified that an older version of the pkg client (from build 106
as an example) can still read the cfg_cache despite the addition of new
option data.
Cheers,
